In reply to: Cindy: "irritable uterus, incompetent cervix, painless dilation"

I just go home Thursday afternoon from 3.5 days in L&D high-risk wing. I was contracting every 3-5 minutes at 26.5 weeks. Fortunately, my cervix was still long and closed, and I do believe this was due to my cerclage, placed at 15 weeks. 2.5 years ago when I was 28.5 weeks pg with my daughter, I had painless ctx and arrived at the hospital to learn I was 90% effaced. We couldn't stop the ctx that time, and the outcome was bad. I believe in cerclage, but I've heard you should have a culture first and be sure you're clean of any infections. My ob was a little careless about that and we were just lucky.
